      1.  Action Requested:

          Approve providing the SSCI with additional material                      0.

the defectors, Yuriy Nosenko and Anatoly Golitsyn, which the
Agency has made known to the Rockefeller Commission and to the
Senate Church Committee and its oversight successor, the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence.

in Attachment A regarding Nosenko was passed to the Rockefeller
Commission in February 1975.  This material held by the
Rockefeller Commission was subsequently made available to the
Church Committee for its investigation.  Additional material
gathered by the Rockefeller Commission on Nosenko throgh inter-
views with former employees, etc.. may also have been made avail-
able to the Church Committee but we have no record of it. The
Rockefeller Commission's brief mention of the Nosenko incar-

          The material concerning N'osenko which was provided
the Rockefeller Commission included detaiis of his background
in the KGB, his recruitment in 1962 and his role as an agent in
place, his defection in 1954, the nature of his involuntary con-
finement by the Agency during the period 1964-67 and the author-
